About: I'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with Beau while I was away! 🐾💕 She treated him as if he were her own and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. She was attentive, dependable, and went above and beyond in every way. Shannon sent so many sweet pictures and videos, kept me updated, and even surprised Beau with a squeaky toy 🥹. It was so clear how genuinely she cares for animals, and Beau looked so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. I truly could not have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly trust her again. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for compassionate, trustworthy, and reliable pet care. Thank you again for taking such incredible care of my sweet boy! 🥰”
